Is One Direction’s Niall Horan really moving to the United States? Rumors say he’s thinking about it at least. The What Makes You Beautiful singer figures since he’s in the U.S. six months of the year anyway, so he may as well base himself in the states. But is there another reason Niall is thinking about a move?

According to the Winnipeg Free Press, Niall is considering a move to the U.S. to encourage ties between him and X Factor judge Demi Lovato. Although the Give Your Heart A Break singer has said the two are just friends, Niall is hoping if he lives closer, perhaps something more might develop between the two.

“Niall told his family he’s crazy about Demi,” a source says. “He’s already going to have to send at least six months a year in the States with One Direction, so he wants to base himself near her and make a proper go of it.”

Do you think any of the rest of the One Direction guys will consider moving to America along with Niall? Will Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson or Zayn Malik lay down roots stateside as well? Do you think Niall Horan is crazy for considering this kind of a move for Demi LovatoÂ—especially when she’s made it pretty clear that she plans to remain single for a while?
